I have ridiculously little information but I started reading this book years ago and left it on the metro at a pivotal part! I still haunt used bookstores but have no idea what it’s called. I believe it’s a female protagonist, I believe dark haired. She’s learning magic. It’s set in a fantasy w...

Is there an official class of ship for the Reman Warbird Scimitar? Or is that the one and only of it's class? I have always loved the ship since I first saw it in Star Trek: Nemesis, but other than "Scimitar" I never heard what class it is. Also, if anyone happens to know where to find a cheap/de...

Channeling is a thing of soul. Souls are reborn/spun back out by the Wheel periodically, to say nothing of the only channeling soul that we know who is also a Hero of the Horn (the Dragon soul). While waiting to be reborn, they wait in TAR. Do channelers channel between lives? If so, are the men...

Squirtle and and other water Pokémon are frequently depicted as making attacks that materialize larger volumes of water than could realistically be stored in their bodies. Is this water ever safe for human consumption, and if so, is it conditional on the type of Pokémon or the source of the water...

I'm currently half-way through Ann Leckie's novel Provenance, and am finding myself really confused by the pronouns and sexes. Can anyone explain what's going on? I'm getting the impression that maybe there are three sexes, a male, a female, and a neuter, which I guess would require some major bi...

I ran across this in a science fiction anthology. The book may have had a sociological/political theme. I think I read it somewhere around the late 1990s, but I also think the book was a hardback I found in a library; something that had probably been sitting on the shelf for many years before I c...

some years ago I saw an anime but I can’t remember the name of it. It was over 10 years ago so there are some things that I don’t remember anymore, only that there was this teenage kid that had a small magical companion in a green suit and small wings. There was also this girl that went to the sa...

Ok, so there were a lot of questions regarding Bruce's 'knightmare'/ visions and The Flash's message in BVS:DOJ most of which are answered here. Secondly, after avoiding the film for over a year due to the commendable but critically mauled job WB made with Justice League following the tragic dea...

In Mistborn books one and two (and likely others, haven't read more than the first part of the second one so far), there are symbols at the beginnings of all the chapters. They resemble the ones in the corners of the map. What are these symbols?

These sentences do not seem more important than others to me. What do they indicate?

Trying to identify a short story about a man haunted by a demon that, I think, he calls "twisty" because it appears in his peripheral vision as a twist of dust that moves along the skirting board of his room. Eventually he befriends the demon who, it turns out. is escaping from its own demon ......

Trying to identify a novel I read - probably in the 1950s or 1960s - about a cabin boy on board a sea-going freighter who battles with an alien called "The Ancient" who has taken over the ship. The alien materializes by de-materializing the substance of an ordinary object (such as a carpet). Al...

In The Hunger Games, is the hunger games society only just in America or is it happening worldwide?

The original (non-animated) light saber was apparently a wooden slat that could rotate covered with a reflective tape: What kind of reflective tape are we talking about here? The light is so intense and pure, it seems too bright for any reflective tape I have seen. If the illuminator was mount...

An anime in which 4 school children go into a game and rescue the world. I saw this anime when I was really young. I don't remember either its name or its character’s names.

The flagship of the Federation during TNG was the Enterprise-D and apparently only the best of the best served there. For example, Riker is repeatedly commended about his abilities: From the TNG episode "Chain of Command I": JELLICO: He [Riker] was your first officer for five years. P...

In the original trilogy (A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi) calling Luke, Leia, Hans, etc made sense. They're rebelling against an evil empire. In the latest set of Star Wars movies, they are still called The Resistance (and generally see themselves as such), and the First Ord...

Following on from this question, what is the in-universe explanation that Incom, the sole manufacturer of X-Wings, is permitted by the Empire to remain in business? From the Empire's POV the rebels are terrorists and it would be easy to locate and shut down the shipyard making their very distinct...

I'm looking for a My Hero Academia fan fiction with tags about how All For One is Hisashi Midoriya and Inko is a bad parent trying to do better. There were other details, but they've slipped my mind, can you find it? It was on Archive of Our Own.

When he arrives at the sp...

I used to watch this cartoon when I was little. I am not sure but I think it was an anime. I do not remember it clearly but there was a boy and a girl who fought bad guys and they used to travel with the help of this giant robot or machine. I think it was a cat or some other animal. I've been sea...

I know it’s an older series, I believe the publication date is around the early 80s or early 90s. The main focus of the books are these magic rocks granting certain powers (lightning, truth seeking, damage absorption I believe etc.) and the original stone found is called something like lamb shab...

When I was in middle school I read a book about a girl princess in a valley kingdom. There was magic and all that fun stuff. She was raised in the ways of the court, but her family died and she had to be a very young ruler. There was a scene where she climbed a mountain to find a wizard to help h...
